Have you ever wondered how much water you use on a daily basics? Honestly, I have no idea how much we use but after
seeing those images above, I’m certain it’s probably way too much!

Even though for
millions of people around the globe water, sanitation and hygiene conditions
have improved drastically, still, in 2015 663 million people are using unsafe
drinking water. So recently Ashley Gilbertson was asked by UNICEF to create a series of images featuring families and their daily water usage. He traveled to
seven different countries and captured the daily water usage of different families
with totally different backgrounds and water needs. Some of those numbers blow my mind! Thoughts?

We've had an incredibly dry summer with water restrictions - it's been an eye-opener for sure. I'm much more careful now, collecting water in pots if I have to let the tap run for some reason, reusing the water I boil anything in to water the plants. It's just a habit now.
